[resolved] "Unable to handle external content"
Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2022 8:19 pm
Dear Dev:
1. I updated Offline Maps app from 3.6b to 3.9b.
2. I store all my data in Internal Storage (/storage/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/), so I set the storage location to Internal Storage, but when I tried to access my placemarks (.wpt, .rte, .are), the Placemarks explorers showed My Placemarks folders and subfolders but they were "empty".
3. I uninstalled 3.9b thinking it was just a bug that would be fixed later, then reinstalled 3.6b from a backup apk.
4. I once again set the storage location to Internal Storage (same path as above), but this time, when I checked the folders, some of the subfolders still showed "empty".
5. I opened my file manager and navigated to /storage/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/landmarks/ and found my file structure and contents (.wpt, .rte, .are) intact.
6. But when I clicked on an existing file that was not showing up in the app, and selected Open With ... Offline Maps, it returned the error message "Unable to handle external content".
Questions:
1. Does this mean that my reverting to an older version corrupted my files?
2. Why did this happen?
3. What can I do?
Please advise. Thank you!
